After news surfaced about his role as a paid consultant to the developers of a $65 million recreation complex proposed for his southern Utah town, Toquerville Mayor Keen Ellsworth has resigned.
— said would have been the West’s largest sports complex with an RV park, wave pool, pickleball courts, 32 ball fields, a charter school, a 150,000-square-foot recreation center, trails and enough asphalt to park 6,000 cars.
The first, which was inked in August 2020 when Ellsworth was on the council, paid him $2,000 a month to help the developers apply to the BLM for the acquisition of 600 acres of public land for the sports complex under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, or R&PP. “When the city announced that there was no guarantee the project would be awarded to us, we decided to withdraw from the project,” said Tusieseina, adding the contract for Ellsworth’s services was also terminated.
As for the nondisclosure provisions in both contracts, he added that was to prevent Ellsworth from providing details about the project to other developers and preventing us from speaking to other cities interested in the project. He said those provisions are clear that the consultant was not to hide his involvement from the city.
